The basic premise of Freakdroid centers around a goody robot who likes to keep users entertained with its sarcastic wit and daily movie trivia. Everything is integrated through Facebook and/or Twitter, so users need to be ready to login with their existing accounts or create one in order to make full use of this app. This means this app functions only when logged into the user’s social network account, and will not be useful if not.

Users will be prompted with function tutorials when they see and hand image pointing in the direction that they should tap on the screen of their device. An explanation will pop up that will provide further details on how to access specific functions.

Freakdroid App Review

The overall appearance of Freakdroid is clean and simplistic. Function navigation is easy as well, and the user can tap around on certain objects and either the object, once tapped, will serve a specific function, or it will just have an animation. For example, of tapping on the “Twitter” bird will direct you to Twitter, and tapping on the paint can floor will just cause it to spill paint on the floor, in which the robot will eventually clean up.

The overall sound effects are also great and give off a realistic impression of what it would sound like in the robot’s exact setting. Machines buzzing and the robot moving about the room are just some of the neat sounding effects.

For Freakdroid being offered for free is not a bad deal. It’s interesting, entertaining, and if the user is a fan of trivia, especially movie trivia, than this app is perfect for them!
